Friday 18th

13:00 – 18:00

MAIN SPACE

@Bar Bar Black Sheep, 16 The Square, Wolverton, MK12 5DG

Trigger Warning performance. Hacked village fête-style games, such as ‘Hook-a-Job’, ‘Passport in a Bucket’, ‘Wheel of Benefits’, and ‘NHS photo banner’ depict and denounce deceitful Eastern European clichés. Audiences of all passports are encouraged to exchange their experiences of immigration, against a backdrop of deceptively light entertainment. By playing the games, the audience experiences the life of a typical immigrant as imagined by the British media.

Trigger Warning will be invigilated by a group of local Eastern Europeans of different professional, economic and generational experiences, making room for a wider, nuanced conversation on integration and exclusion.

The Black Sheep Collective will also contribute with a response piece. The stand-alone installation, Bad Nagtowek, explores the negative portrayal of people immigrating from European countries in the national and local media.

PERFORMANCE, INSTALLATION

15:00 – 16:O0

MAIN SPACE

Participants are invited to share their stories of migration, integration, identity and belonging (whether positive, negative, poignant or funny) through a 5-minute contribution – a personal story, a piece of music, a set of family photos, an artefact – that speaks to your personal experiences of migration, identity or belonging.
